EUNIS level 3 habitat map for Wight-Barfleur Reef SCI

EUNIS level 3 habitat map for Wight-Barfleur Reef SCI (CEND 03/13). The new evidence on the distribution of habitats derived from terrain analysis and interpretation of sidescan sonar data was used to update the existing EUNIS habitat map of the Wight-Barfleur Reef cSAC and surroundings (Diesing et al., 2009). The interpretation of acoustic and video data points to a highly complex seabed habitat, made up of a mosaic of bedrock reef, stony reef, coarse sediment and, in places, sand.

EUNIS三级栖息地地图针对怀特-巴弗勒礁SCI（CEND 03/13）。通过对地形分析和侧扫声纳数据的解读所获取的新证据，被用于更新现有的怀特-巴弗勒礁cSAC及其周边地区的EUNIS栖息地地图（Diesing等，2009年）。对声学和视频数据的解读表明，海底栖息地结构高度复杂，由基岩礁、石质礁、粗粒沉积物以及局部地区的沙质所组成。
